I will be headed home this weekend. While at home I’ll take part in a number of activities including the Illini-Mizzou Arch Rivalry game at the Edward Jones Dome on Saturday.
Going home has many benefits that most college students take for granted. It allows you to be away from school for at least a small amount of time and clear your thoughts. Time away from books and school is always a pleasing experience for me, and allows me to come back to school with a rejuvenated sense of learning the following week.
Going home when you have homework due, however, is not so good. I always bring homework to do while I’m at home, but it never gets done. I think this goes back to the idea that while at home you’re in “away from school mode,” and anything that you would like to get done gets placed at a lower priority than catching up with your family and friends at home. If you’re going home this labor day weekend, don’t plan on getting much school work done.
